More expensive? Cr48s weren’t ever sold to end users, were they?

Yup, and it’s big and fat compared to this Chromebook. And more expensive ;-)

Fixed, thanks.

Your Cr-48 has twice the battery – 63Wh vs 30Wh for this onw

I thought the ARM chips were supposed to be more energy efficient. My Cr-48 with an Atom chip is estimating 7:41 battery life left at 97%.

Very interesting! By the way, the link to the Chromebook version of openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 2 available “here” is broken.

Great news, thanks for the work already done.
